Ben Johnson: Asafa not running enough races

31.05.2010 World

Jamaican born track and field superstar Ben Johnson believes that fellow countryman Asafa Powell has the potential to do very well, but he needs to run more races.

Johnson said the answer for Asafa Powell is that ” he’s not running enough races to for him to peak at the right time, when he ran in the World Championship or the Olympic Games he didn’t make it because he didn’t have too much races going into the Olympic Games.”

Johnson went on to say that Powell “need to run at least 60 races getting into the major competition so that he can be ready to peak on that day.”
